After seeing this film, I am wishing that the real Joe Wilson would enter politics. He strikes me as a good leader, someone with a conscience. Also, I wonder if the gender roles had been reversed if the Bush administration would have been so flip as turn on their own agent.

In chess, sometimes it is a good move to lose a pawn to gain the advantage, ultimately Ms Wilson was used as a pawn in the game of going to war that can be played in the white house. She was robbed of her career, bottomed out, as the 'fall girl' for the Bush administration. There does seem to be a tragic injustice in the end with the family moving to New Mexico to escape DC , while no justice is served to the executive branch out of control. Scooter Libby, an agent of Cheney, barely served time for his lies and no one else was held to answer for blowing her cover in the press.

Of all the reasons we went to these two wars, it cannot be denied that we waged war on Iraq based on layers of lies and deception. Iraq did not have anything to do with 911, yet we were easily led into believing it was so. At the heart of the reasoning for going to war was the so called weapons program in operation in Iraq. By the time it was obvious to most informed and reasoning folks, we were embroiled in a second war mostly because it seemed closer to the target.

It is not easy to draw a greater conclusion or gain a moral to the story, but here it is: the GOP in control of our military and intelligence complex will put it to work on expensive and immoral operations in order to create a political advantage and/or support their big business cronies. That’s what happened with Iraq.

Looking at the future, I cannot figure out what the mission in Afghanistan is but to get out. I think we went there to get Osama but now it's truly a mission accomplished.
